Tetiana's six-year-old daughter was most afraid of airplanes. russian fighter jets circled their village almost every day. In the mornings, Tetiana used to pinch her daughter's ears to protect her from the roar of the warplanes. The family decided to leave the house when the occupiers established their authority not only in the village but also in the school. She left for Zaporizhzhia, and two days later, russians moved into their house.

Soon, one of Tetiana's relatives was tragically killed in the occupation. Other family members serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in “hot” spots. She cannot talk about this without crying.
